“One of the surest signs of the Philistine is his reverence for the superior tastes of those who put him down.” – Pauline Kael

#969 – Boyhood

Expecting Boyhood to be a decade long gimmick was a mistake. Linklater has crafted a film that sits perfectly within his body of work. It’s an eloquent ode to the tricky path of adolescence and the discovery of one’s self. This film is a delight.
